For my first card I have used the Altenew Bamboo Rose stamp set and my Prisma coloured pencils.  As this is a one layer card, I prefer to use pencils so you don't see any colour come through onto the inside of the card.  The sentiment is from Happy Little Stampers.

For my second card I used Catherine Pooler Designs "Grateful Heart" stamp set with my Prisma's again. The sentiment is from Stampin Up.

We would love you to join us!  All you have to do is make a one layer card with buds or petals and link it up to our challenge HERE.  Don't forget we like to see lots of white space on your card.

Thanks for looking and have a great weekend!

Hello and happy Wednesday! It's time for another Watercooler Wednesday challenge and I'm the hostess this week with a Masculine "anything goes" challenge.

My card this week is made using a stencil.  I sponged some black and red ink onto a piece of white card stock and then cut the images out with my scan and cut.  

I adhered them to a white card panel and stamped the sentiment with black ink.

AAA Cards Challenge #138 - Guest Designer

Hello and welcome to my blog.  Today I am excited to be Guest Designing for AAA Cards Challenge #138 which is "Along the Edge" with the optional twist of sewing!  

I have used faux sewing on my card by using a stitched rectangle die.  I stamped out three butterflies from Happy Little Stampers and coloured them in with alcohol markers.  I then cut them out with my scan n cut and adhered them along the edge of my stitched card panel.

Less is More #393 - Subtle Colours

Hello, we have a new challenge over at Less is More!  This time we want to see Subtle Colours on your project.

Our guest designer this week is Milla who was our February winner and our sponsor is Seven Hills Crafts.

 

I have used a "not yet released" stamp set from Altenew that I received at the recent Altenew workshop held in Melbourne, Australia.  I inked it up with "It's a girl" CP ink and stamped once then stamped it again without re-inking which gives the lighter colour of pink.  I stamped the sentiment with a pale grey ink.

We would love you to join us!  All you have to do is make a CAS card using subtle colours and link it up to our challenge HERE.  Don't forget we like to see lots of white space on your card.

Thanks for looking and have a great weekend!

WWC216 - Dawn's "All About Occasions" Challenge

Hello and happy Wednesday!  It's time for a new challenge over at Watercooler Wednesdays and this week Dawn is our host with the

 "All About Occasions" challenge.

I have made a birthday card because I always need birthday cards!

I started by stamping my big bold sentiment from CAS-ual Fridays "Shenanigans" stamp set with CP midnight ink.  Then I stamped over the top with this gorgeous new Altenew Stamp Set ( not available yet) that I received at an Altenew workshop held in Melbourne on the weekend.  I outlined the image with a grey copic marker and added a few clear sequins from Pretty Pink Posh.

Come join in the fun and make a card for any occasion. Check out the projects that the other artists at Watercooler Wednesday Challenges have created then, take the challenge and link your creation to the challenge post.

WWC215 - Donna's Feminine "Anything Goes" Challenge

Hello, it's that time of the week again!  We have a new challenge up on the Watercooler Wednesday Challenge Blog.

This week Donna is our host with a Feminine "Anything Goes".

My favourite colour is pink and pink screams feminine to me so I made a pink card with a butterfly!  I started by stamping some different colours of CP Inks onto a square block and spritzed it with water.  Then I stamped that directly onto my white card panel.  When it was dry I stamped the beautiful butterfly from Happy Little Stampers with black ink and the matching sentiment.  I always need birthday cards. 

Come join in the fun and make a feminine card for any occasion. Check out the projects that the other artists at Watercooler Wednesday Challenges have created then, take the challenge and link your creation to the challenge post. We’d love to have you join us.  You have until Tuesday, 9th April at 10:00am Melbourne Time or Monday 8th April 5pm US Mountain Time to link up your project.
